TIE people of Phenix have arranged to secure visit from eastern e~cur- sionists to the Pacific Coast and will probably pay the extra fare from and to Maricopa junction. Among these visi- tors there will surely be many that will invest in real estate in Salt river val ley who would not otherwise do so, and the cost of diverting their attention to Arizona lands will be thereby repaid many times over People must be given some inducements worthy of their con- sideration in order to change their plans of investment on the Pacific coast. Tbev must be shown that Arizona presents better opportunities, better resources and more brilliant future than California
 where modest investment will speedily bring large gains. We who understand the comparative worth of the two sec tions, express wonder that shrewd east
 ern DC ople will pay such fancy prices for California homes which will never return fair rate of interest upon the invest ment, while far more desirable and val uable properties in Arizona can be par
 chased for mere fraction of the amount and will forever produce handsome incomes. As to climate, any one whose experiences in both sections have given rise to an unbiased opinion, will readily concede to Arizona the best and most desirable climate in the world. Arizonians know and appreciate these great advantages, but the peo- pie of the east-those who possess any knowledge at all that such geographical division as Arizona exists-belieye that hostile Apaches and vicious cowboys haunt the Territory from mountain crao to the dismal desert wastes, and that nothing that is good can come out of land that kind Providence has so cursed. These popular errors must be corrected and such prejudices removed before people will seek homes amongst us, and the excellent efforts of the press must be supplemented by the practical work of inducing prominent and influen. tial men of the east to come here and bear witness Pay their railroad fare and their incidental expenses, if neces- sary, to induce them to make the tire

Hoof and Horn.

Throughout Arizona better feeling is beginning to prevail in regards to the outlook for the future of it's cattle inter- ests. It is beginning to realize that bed rock has been reached and a reaction is setting in. To tide over the present, means fortunes within the next two or three years. The available beef of nearly every section of the Union has been rushed into the market and the supply is exhausted. Indictment winters and ex- treme drouth have brought to pass such condition of affairs that in Chicago, the greatest meat market in the world fears are entertained of beef famine. Management and little self denial is all that Is required by the stockmen of the southwest to bridge them over their present difficulties and ensure them by the close of the sos the enjoyment of the biggest boom the live stock business has ever known.

Es-Eim-in-xin-s Arrest.


 Sheriff Fryer, with his posse, accom- plished the arrest of the Indians for whom he held warrants, without the necessity | of resortmg to force as many feared would | result from an attempt to serve process upon the offenders. For the first time these Indians have been compelled to repect the civil law for which they have SO long affected utter contempt, and they will receive impartial and exact justice for the misdeeds they may be proven guilty of having committed.
 Es-kim-in-zin is Chiricahua Apache with record as crimson as that Geroni- mo himself. He assumed reformation about twelve years ago and took up his residence on the San Pedro river near Dudleyville, surrounded by few of his tribe who desired to lead better life. The chief declared his intention of be- coming citizen of the United States and entered in fine tract of land which he provided with irrigating ditches and has since cultivated. This year heplanted small crop of corn, but his followers raised no crops They own few ponies and no cattle, although they provide themselves with fresh beef and other food at the expense of the settlers along the river. In their possessions they have always been fully protected even by those who have suffered from their depreda- tions, for the reason that peace was more surely secured by enduring them and there was fear that any attempt to bring them to justice would precipitate a trouble that no one cared to witness
 But they have grown bolder in their career of unchecked crime and it is no wonder that the settlers finally grew weary of their ceaseless thefts and con- stant insolence and entered complaint against them.
 The attempt of the sheriff to serve process and the resistance offered by Es- kim-in-zin and his followers, has been detailed in these columns. It seems that the influence of the military officers at San Carlos has occasioned radical change in the savages and they have consented to allow the law to take it's course. However open to criticism may seem the conditions, by which the ex- animation was held at Dudleyville in- stead of Florence where the writs were issued, the fact must not be overlooked that even compromise is much prefer able to an endless warfare through which the settlers must become the greatest sufferers, and the resistance previously offered grew solely out of the ignorance of these Indians of the real position they occupy, all their former experience hay ing taught them obedience only to mil itary authority.
 Sheriff Fryer has displayed courage, eff ciency and discretion in successfully per forming his perilous duty without blood shed, and his firm exercise of authority must necessarily produce salutary nor al affect upon these wayward aborigines that will result in ultimately remedyimP the evils that have afflicted the people of the San Pedro:

THE San Francisco Chronicle quotes some of the reports of Arizona's wonder ful corn growth and by way of comment says that Arizona produces the most ex- traordinary corn-liars in the world. In it's present skeptical frame of mind we doubt if samples of the lengthy stalks were sent to its sanctum that the Chroni- cle would acknowledge the corn.

WHEN the ponderous locomotive dash es fearlessly along the railroad, drawing after it long train load of weight and wealth, it is indeed an impressive picture of power and strength, seemingly uncon- querable. And yet with all it's force and all the aggregated courage of its human cargo, very slight and frail obstacle in- terposed by a designing individual can conquer its power and wreck it into a shapeless mass of useless matter; single individual can stay its mad flight and and bring it in humble supplication to his feet. Verify the tram robber may glory in his power until the meshes of the law envelop him in their iron em- brace.

IT is strange phenomenon that all the heaviest storms of the present season have occurred along and adjacent to the lines of the railroads, and that this fact has been so marked as to excite comment. Whether or not the rails, by their con ductlng powers, excite electrical disturb ances in the atmosphere.is an open ques- tion not yet fully demonstrated, although the Cheyenne Leader describes what we take to be an imaginary process by which several scientific gentlemen of the Smith sonian Institute are said to be able to produce rain at will and at any given point by means of electrical wires and strong batteries attached to huge kites.

The paper filed against Dr. o. Lincoln, one of the ex-directors of the insane asylum, calls for $65, ,00O and forty-six odd cents, and judgment is also asked against each of his bondsmen for the sum of S10, 900 each, making total of $105,- 900 and forty-six cents. Not having ac- cess to the papers against the other two ex-directors, We are unable to state the amount prayed for from them, but it is safe to presume that it is but little less, but a lowing discount of 20 per cent. ;. it would make total against the two of S168, 8,00O, or grand total of $273,000 and forty-six cents. As the total amount of money appropriated by the territory and handled by them was only $1O0, ,000, it will strike the average citizen that the attorney general is asking for a pretty big sum. He ought to be willing to knock off tbe forty-six cents at least, and then wh en the balance is collected he will have nearly one-third enough to pay of the indebtedness of the territory Journal Miner.

The Prescott Journal Miner says:--The verdict is the same all over the country. Whenever the boom has struck 1t has been attributed to the local papers through the patronage lberally bestow- ed on them by the people. Business men, who, to save from S10 to S15 per year, send to some cheap printing office in the east, for job work, and then won der why their local papers do not get out editions equal to the New York HeI- aid. The Los Angeles Herald, paper that has done more to help along the boom of the town in which it is published than the cheap climate and high priced lands, has the following on the subject: 1.-The Ventura Free Press complains that hardly tenth of the business men of that place advertise in its columns, and were it not for the support received from abroad, the paper would not exist. And yet it strikes us that Ventura raised a considerable sum of money lately to se- cure puff in San Francisco publica- ton. This Is the sheerest of folly. The home paper is the one that must endure the heat and burdens of the day, and il accomplis shes hundred fold more for the
 building up of place than all the
 ephemeral hand-bills, circulars, pam,
 phlets and outside newspaper write-up' put together. Let the Ventura people l make note of this and be wise in time | if they have patronage to bestow they
 had better put it where it will do th' | most oood.n

that on Friday morning a party of
twenty-one young Crow Indians
under the leadership Of an Indian
who has lately become famous as q
medicine man, returned from a sue.
cessiul raid on the Piegan Indians,
bringing with them about 60 head OF
horses. The Crows were celebrating
this event with great rejoicing when
Agent Williamson ordered his police
to arrest the entire party for horse
stealing. This incensed the Indians
so that they made an attack on the
agency buildings. Fortunately nc
one was hurt, though the houses aud
Office of the agent were riddled with
bullets. The agent Immediately dis.
patched scout to Fort Custer for
troops. -Four troops of cavalry arrived
at the agency on Saturday morning.
On their arrival they found the In.
dians camped about the place threat
ening the life of the agent. Three of
the troops returned Sunday morning,
leaving one to protect the agent. The
arrests are to be made by the civil au.

horse stealing. The Indians, how.
ever, say that they do not want to
fight the soldiers, but will resist TO the
utmost any attempt of the police to ar
rest them.
